GWC YU2240 USB2.0 Hi-Speed 4 Port Bay Hub - Retail

Decent hub

Reviewed By: H/W Tech on 6/4/2008

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Fits well in drive bay.
Easy to insert/remove cables & flash drives.
Functions fine.

Cons: All 4 of the green LEDs are on ALL of the time, not just when something is connected to one of them.
The screw holes didn't all line up with the case; but this hub is made of plastic, so that problem can be overcome.

Other Thoughts: Advice for GWC (or whoever made this hub):
- Please adhere to ATX standards.
- Make the LEDs go off when nothing is connected!

USB Hub

Pros: It does what they say it will do and more. They say it supports self powered devices only. Other words no flash drives. But if you plug a flex disk drive power plug into the 4 pin plug on the hub it does support flash drives.

Cons: It would be nice if they documented the power plug on the hub.

Pros: It works. It has a red light to tell you it's working.

Cons: Designed to plug into a USB port in the back of your machine, instead of directly into the mother board, via a cable that runs through an open PCI port. Not really a problem, just seems a little strange.
